Spicy Crab Wonton Tacos

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of DaVinci Wine, in conjunction with Kitchen PLAY. Sponsored posts help me pay for the costs associated with this blog (groceries…lots of groceries), and help support me as I pursue a career in recipe development and food photography. All opinions are 100% my own.

A big part of my job seems to involve memorizing the product offerings, prices and stock delivery schedule of every grocery store within a 15-mile radius of my house. If you ask me where to get the freshest ahi tuna, I can tell you where, what it will cost, and on what day of the week you should buy it. Mangos? I know just where to send you for the prettiest, ripest ones.

So, I was pretty surprised last week when I had trouble finding ahi tuna anywhere around town. I was bummed, because my original plan for these wonton tacos was to use tuna, but you know what? I’m almost glad I couldn’t find it, because the crab I ended up with is just so awesome. With the combination of crab and avocado, these Spicy Crab Wonton Tacos remind me very much of a California sushi roll, except I’m subbing mango for cucumber here.

In my opinion, just about any seafood dish (and definitely any spicy seafood dish) calls for a chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio. I would recommend grabbing a bottle of DaVinci Pinot Grigio to pair with these Spicy Crab Wonton Tacos for an easy entertaining menu. DaVinci wines are produced by a cooperative of more than two hundred passionate winegrowers near the Tuscan hillside town of Vinci (the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci). DaVinci Pinot Grigio grapes are grown in northeastern Italy. This region has cool evenings and warm days, making it perfectly suited to producing crisp Pinot Grigio grapes. These grapes result in a wine that is more acidic and less sweet, which makes it very food-friendly.

Feel free to use any seafood you like in these tacos – crab, ahi tuna, lobster and shrimp all work great. Heck, you could even make these with chicken or pork. It’s just all about keeping it simple and using ingredients you love. Enjoy!
